TOD - I started Spanish in 9th grade, took it all through high school, and placed into the second semester of second year college Spanish as a freshman. Then, with some room in my senior year schedule, I took one year of college French. Didn't keep up with either and I've lost most of both languages, except for words here and there. When we were in France last fall, I found myself remembering the Spanish words for things I wanted to say in French!
